Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation of co-pending International Patent Application No. PCT/CN2022/133732, filed on Nov. 23, 2022, which claims the priority and benefit of Chinese patent application number 202111503233.X, filed on Dec. 9, 2021 with China National Intellectual Property Administration, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a functional glove and a preparation method, in particular to a protective glove for electric welding and a preparation method.

BACKGROUND

Hands are one of the most delicate and dense organs in the human body, and people use their hands to complete various tasks. Gloves are hand warm or labor protection supplies, but also decorative. It is an essential thing for people to keep warm when they are cold, or as an essential medical bacteria prevention and industrial protection supplies. Gloves according to the production method can be divided into sewing, knitting, dipping and so on. With the improvement of various functional requirements for gloves, relevant technologies in the direction of glove material and preparation process are also constantly developing. In particular, the material of gloves determines the protective performance of gloves, which is the basis for glove selection.

Graphene is a two-dimensional material with carbon atoms arranged hexagonally. Graphene oxide has carboxyl group, epoxy group, hydroxyl group and other groups modified on the surface of graphene. Due to the simple preparation process of graphene oxide, the low cost of raw materials, and the fact that graphene oxide is more difficult to aggregate than graphene in actual operation, it can be widely used in large-scale industrial production.

Graphene is also a two-dimensional carbon material with excellent barrier properties, and its introduction into polymer materials can reduce the heat release of combustible gases during combustion. Graphene and flame retardants form a double barrier effect that greatly reduces the rate at which volatiles are released from resin decomposition and minimizes and transfers the combustion heat released.

In addition, it has been reported in the literature that when the graphene layer is charred, it forms a continuous carbon layer, which is dense and continuous, and it blocks the surface, preventing oxygen from entering the deep part of the material. Graphene conducts heat very well, which means that localized heat is conducted into the rest of the material and dispersed, making it difficult for a fire to spread. Heat conduction and coke blocking create a so-called maze effect, in which heat and combustion gases must follow a zigzag path to the fuel, and this effectively prevents the spread of the flame. In addition to the flame retardant effect, graphene and graphene oxide also have a very high surface area. This adsorbs flammable organic volatiles and prevents their release and diffusion during combustion. Graphene is likely to reduce toxic gases in fires.

Polyester fiber is a kind of chemical fiber with low cost, good performance and wide use, but traditional polyester fiber is not functional. With the development of society, traditional polyester has been unable to meet people's needs for functional textiles, such as the use of polyester gloves, it is not suitable for electric welding and other environments, can not provide adequate protection for operators.
